NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations)

The NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) expeditions take place in an underwater laboratory called the Aquarius module located off Key Largo, Florida. NEEMO tests human and robotic exploration operations simulation and crew training techniques to support space exploration. Ames scientists support NEEMO through Science Backroom activities to help plan, coordinate, and execute scientific investigations conducted by the aquanauts and their robotic tools.
